Bestselling author Jeffrey Archer returns with a powerful tale of twins separated by fate and reunited by destiny.
It is often tiny decisions, sometimes made by others, that can change our whole lives . . .
Nathaniel Davenport is the son of Susan and Michael. Born a twin, his brother died soon after birth. His education at Taft is a privileged one and from an early age he impresses his peers, teachers and friends with his intelligence and political acumen. Returning from Vietnam a war hero, he enrolls at the University of Connecticut and begins his first major campaign to become President of the Student Senate.
Fletcher Andrew Cartright is the son of Ruth and Robert. Born in the same hospital as Nat, and on the same day, he was to his parents, the blessed child they doubted they would ever have. Educated at Hotchkiss, he soon shows exceptional talent and legal prowess, winning the post of Student President and going on to study law at Yale.
But as these young men pursue their separate dreams, a truth remains hidden to all but one person. For Nat and Andrew are twins, separated at birth in an act of desperation, and to this day, unaware of each other's existence. And now, as their lives unfold, it seems they are being channelled together in a twist of fortune that may bring them face to face . . .
'Sons Of Fortune' spans four decades, against a backdrop of the growth of the American Dream.
